Ditto, I only got the Beatles, I blindly guessed Dylan' phrase right, I knew the M&M's (they had the same slogan in german) and I knew who Ali was.

Everything else I had never even heard of...

Oh lord, I'm only 33 and I knew all but 2 (#'s 6 and 12). I think I watch WAY too much TV. Actually, I love useless information.
